Put the lower Twistlock tab on the flagangle into the Twistlock hole in the vertical track. Give the flagangle 1/4 turn
to lock in place. Repeat for other side.
Using a hammer, tap the horizontal angle towards the curved end of the track until the hole in track and angle are
aligned. Set tracks aside.
NOTE: For larger size doors, a full length horizontal angle is already spot welded to the horizontal track.
Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket schedule (located on backside), determine the
placement of the jamb brackets for your door height.
TorqueMaster™ drums are marked right and left. Make sure you place the cable from the right hand drum on the right
hand bottom bracket, and left hand drum on the left hand bottom bracket. Insert rollers into bottom brackets and hinge
tubes on bottom section.
NOTE: Verify astragal (bottom seal) is aligned with door section. If there is more than 1/2” excess astragal on either
side, trim off so that astragal is aligned with door section.
IMPORTANT! Right and left hand is always determined from inside the building looking out.
Position the first vertical track over the rollers of the bottom section. Make sure the counterbalance cable is located
between the rollers and the door jamb. Secure jamb brackets and flagangles to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
Install the other vertical track the same way. Hang cables over flagangles.
IMPORTANT! The tops of the vertical tracks must be level from side to side. If the bottom section was shimmed
to level it. The vertical track on the shimmed side, must be raised the height of the shim.
Place rollers into hinge tubes of second section (lock section). With assistance, lift second section and guide rollers into
the vertical tracks. Keep sections aligned and fasten hinges to connect the sections using 1/4-14 x 5/8” self tapping
screws. Repeat for other section(s) except top section.
IMPORTANT! Push & hold the hinge leaf against section while securing with 1/4-14 x 5/8 self tapping screws.
NOTE: To install lock (sold separately), see lock instructions included in the lock assembly bag.
To install the L-shaped top brackets, align the top holes in the top bracket base with:
a) the second set of holes in the endcap for Model 9100, 9200, and 9600 doors.
b) the first set of holes in the endcap for Model 9900 doors.
Fasten using (4) 1/4-14 x 5/8 self tapping screws. Secure the top bracket slide to the bracket base using (2) 1/4-20
carriage bolts and nuts. Insert rollers into top slide.
Model 9100 and 9200 Foamcore™ doors over 13’ wide require a 3” U-Bar (supplied). Center the U-Bar over the top
rib of the top section and secure it to the section using (6) 1/4-20 x 5/8” self drilling screws.
Place top section in the door opening, align with other sections and secure it temporarily by driving a nail into the
header near the center of the door and bending it over the section. Now flip up, hold tight against section, and fasten
center hinges first, and end hinges last. When installing a door with a TorqueMaster™ counterbalance system, vertical
track alignment is critical. Position flagangle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door.
Flagangles must be parallel to the door sections. Now complete the vertical track installation on both sides by securing
the center jamb bracket and tightening the other lag screws.
IMPORTANT! The dimension between the flagangles must be door-width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for
smooth, safe door operation.
To install horizontal track, place the curved end over the top roller. Align the key slot in the track with the quick install
tabs on the flagangle. Push the curved portion of the horizontal track downward to lock into place, while raising the
rear of the horizontal to align the horizontal angle with the flagangle. Level the horizontal track, then bolt the
horizontal angle to the flagangle using (1) truss head bolt and nut. Repeat for other side. Vertically align the top section
with the lower sections. Once aligned, move top bracket slide out to force top roller against horizontal track. Tighten
nuts to secure top bracket slide to top bracket base. Repeat for other side. Remove nail that was temporarily holding
top section in place.
IMPORTANT! Failure to remove nail before attempting to raise door could cause permanent damage to top section.
WARNING!
DO NOT RAISE DOOR UNTIL HORIZONTAL TRACKS ARE SECURED AT REAR AS OUTLINED IN STEP
21, OR DOOR COULD FALL FROM OVERHEAD POSITION CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Before installing the bottom section, measure and cut vinyl jamb weather-stripping (may not be included) for entire
garage door opening. Temporarily nail the weather-stripping to the door jambs and header. Center the bottom section
in the door opening. Level it using wooden shims under the bottom astragal as needed.

NOTE: For non-idrive™ operated garage doors see Alternative Installations on the reverse side of this manual.
Lay the torque tube on the floor (inside garage) in front of the door with the labeled end to the left. NOTE: Opener
will not slide over a torque tube label. Attempting to slide opener over the left end of the torque tube can damage
the internal electronics.
NOTE: Hold opener by the main body. Do NOT hold by the motor.
Look into the opener’s left side to ensure the left hand bearing and the internal (black) sleeve are aligned with the torque
tube profile. Once aligned, slide the opener power head onto the right hand end of the torque tube. As the right end
of the torque tube enters the internal (black) sleeve, rotate the opener back and forth slightly to help aid alignment.
NOTE: Do not force the opener onto the torque tube if misalignment occurs.
Continue sliding the opener power head onto the torque tube. Align the right hand bearing with the torque tube and
slide the opener power head completely onto the torque tube until the torque tube exits the opener power head’s right
hand bearing. Continue sliding the opener power head to the center of the torque tube and plug the motor power cord
into the opener power head.
IMPORTANT! Right and left hand are always determined from inside the garage looking out.
Shake the torque tube gently to extend the winding shafts out about 5" on each side. For single spring applications, there
will be no left hand winding shaft in the torque tube.
Lift the torque tube and rest on top of flagangles. Orient torque tube so that back of opener is flat against header/spring
pad.
Cable drums and torque tube are cam shaped to fit together only one way. To install the cable drum, slide the drum over
the winding shaft until the drum seats against the torque tube. The winding shaft must extend past the drum far enough
to expose the splines and the groove. Align the winding shaft groove with the round notch in the flagangle. Repeat for
opposite side for double spring applications.
For single spring applications, insert the left hand loose winding shaft into the left hand drum prior to sliding the drum
over the torque tube.
NOTE: On single spring applications, take care in handling the loose winding shaft (left side) so that it does not slide back
into the torque tube.
Beginning with the right hand side, lubricate entire circumference of the drive gear with the oil provided in the packet. DO
NOT SUBSTITUTE OIL. Slide the drive gear onto the winding splines until it touches the flagangles.
NOTE: No drive gear is required for the left side on single spring applications.
IMPORTANT! Warning tags must be securely attached to both end brackets.
Slide the right hand end bracket over the drive gear. Secure end bracket and the flagangle to the jamb using (2)5/16 x 1-5/8”
lag screws.

Beginning with the right side, install the counter gear with the missing tooth toward the outside, away from the end
bracket. Press the counter gear onto the end bracket until snaps engage. Select the right hand counter cover assembly and
align the hex of the counter cam with the end of the winding shaft. Also, align the “0” on the counter cover with the raised
rib on the end bracket. Press the counter cover assembly against the counter gear until it locks into place. Repeat for left
hand side for double spring applications.
NOTE: No drive gear, counter gear or counter cover assembly is required on left hand side for single spring applications.
Only an end bracket is needed.
IMPORTANT! At this time do not wind counter balance springs!
Locate the spring pad. The spring pad is a vertical running board directly above the center of the door. Remove (2) 1/4-
20 flange nuts from bottom of opener power head. NOTE: Do not discard flange nuts. Place the support bracket
underneath opener power head, to the right side of motor, centered on spring pad. Level the torque tube to the top of the
door section with the idrive™ resting on the support bracket. Once torque tube is level, secure support bracket to the
spring pad with (2) 1/4 x 2" lag screws.
Lift and slide the opener power head over the support bracket, aligning the mounting studs with the bracket slots.
Loosely fasten to mounting studs with the (2) 1/4-20 flange nuts. NOTE: Do not tighten 1/4-20 flange nuts to power
head studs at this time.

Attach the loose disconnect cable (located in operator hardware bag) to the opener power head with “S” hook. Close
both ends of “S” hook to lock assembly together. Thread the disconnect cable through hole in right hand end bracket and
remove all slack between power head and right hand end bracket.
Mark location on right door jamb, six feet above the ground to mount disconnect handle. Thread disconnect cable
through handle bracket and then handle. Align top of handle bracket with mark on wall. Remove all cable slack between
the power head and top of handle bracket.
Insert and tighten #6-20 x 1/2" screw until snug, and then tighten screw 1 to 1-1/2 additional turns to secure cable in
handle. Trim off excess cable from bottom of handle.
Holding handle bracket, remove all remaining slack between power head. With slack removed, secure bottom of handle
bracket with (1) 1/4 x 1-1/2" lag screw.
CAUTION: Pull handle just enough to remove the cable slack. Pulling the cable more could cause the opener power
head to disconnect from the torque tube.
Rotate disconnect handle to one side exposing upper mounting hole in handle bracket. Secure handle bracket with a
second 1/4 x 1-1/2" lag screw. Apply emergency disconnect label next to the mounted bracket. Use mechanical fasteners
if adhesive will not adhere.
Using the emergency disconnect, pull disconnect handle downwards and place it in the manual door operated position.
Use disconnect label for reference. Motor will be rotated 90° from its packaged position.
NOTE: If motor does not pivot 90°, see troubleshooting section in the idrive™ main installation manual.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO WIND SPRING(S)
Beginning with the right hand side. Press and hold in the canoe clip. Ensure the cable is in the first groove of the drum.
Using an electric drill (high torque gear reduced to 1300 RPM preferred) with a 7/16" socket, carefully rotate right hand
winding bolt clockwise, until counter shows 2-3 turns. This will keep the counterbalance cable taut while adjusting the
left hand side counterbalance cable. Repeat step 18 and 19 for left side. NOTE: Single spring applications require no
spring winding.
Ensure counterbalance cable tension is equal for both sides prior to fully winding spring(s) to appropriate number of
turns.
Carefully rotate the winding bolt head clockwise until the counter show the correct number of turns for your door. See
the Spring Turn chart on the reverse side of this manual. Repeat for the opposite side on double spring TorqueMaster™
systems. If door raises off of floor remove 1/2 - 1 full turn from each spring before proceeding.
After spring is wound, hold the lock nut (in back of end bracket) stationary with a 7/16” wrench while rotating the
winding bolt clockwise until snug. Tightening of the lock nut prevents spring from unwinding. Repeat for opposite side
if necessary.
IMPORTANT! Adjustments to the recommended number of turns may be required. AFTER REAR SUPPORT
ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE, check door balance. If door raises off of floor under spring tension alone, then reduce
turns until door will rest on floor. A “hot” door such as this can cause idrive™ operation problems.
